Ymir Creek (British Columbia)
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2021) |
Ymir Creek is a creek in the Selkirk Mountains in the West Kootenay region of the Regional District of Central Kootenay in British Columbia, Canada. The creek is a tributary of the Salmo River which it meets in the centre of the town of Ymir. Its source is a few kilometres up Wildhorse Mountain. The creek is named for the town of Ymir which in turn was named for Ymir Mountain, a mountain a few kilometres to the north. Ymir Mountain is named for Ymir, the Norse god.[1]
The lower portions of the creek are locally referred to as Wildhorse Creek due to its discharge from Wildhorse Mountain into the Salmo River in Ymir.
